Bob Burdette on the Saloon
Rrvarf J Rurdette the well
known writer and lecturer has of
ten expressed himself on the sa
loon question Recently a fight
against the saloon was mode in
Pasadena Cal whero ho is now
located and in the course of the
discuesion the Gabon men stated
that Burdette favored their side
This called forth an eraphatio de
nial on his part in which he said
among other things
About the power of prohibi
tory laws the laws of the State
against murder do not enuroiy
prevent murder But neverthe
less but I am opposed to licensing
one murder to every so many
thousand persons even on peti
tion of a majority of the property
owners in the blook that we may
have all tho murder that is desira
ble in the community under wise
regulations with a little income
for the municipality I believe
in the absolute prohibition of
murder
Tho laws of tho country prohi
biting stealing do not prevent
Btnlinir Nevertheless I am op
posed to a high license system of
ainnlinrr nrovidine that all theft
be restricted to certain authorized
thieves who shall steal only be
tween the hours of say 6 a m and
1130 d except Sunday when
WJiSf 4h vl tuiSr j fiVfllVOCiSI
fV
no Btealing shall bo done except
by stealth entrance to be made in
all cases on that day by the baok
door and at the thiols risk I
believe in laws that absolutely for
bid theft at any hour on any day
of tho week
And on the same grounds and
iuot as nositivelv do I believe in
prohibition of tho liquor traffic
And I never said I didnt And I
did say that I did And I do
I do say that tho best way to
make a man a temperate man is to
teach him not to drink But a feu
looa is not a kindergarten of so
briety Your town is under obli
gation to no saloon All that it is
in respectability and permanent
prosperity it has grown to ubo
without tho assistance of tho
liquor traffic
If tho saloon men insist in
quoting me on this topic let them
commit this to memory that they
may repeat it as they need it I
do know one good thing about the
saloon It is an ovil thing that
has not one redeeming featuro in
its history to commend it to good
men It breaks the laws of God
pnd man It deseorates the

peslilenoe that blights the very
atmosphere of town and county
it is a strain upon honesty a blur
upon purity a clog upon progress
a oheok upon the nobler impulses
it is an incentive to falaehood de

Search through the history of
this hateful thing and read one

its history is written in tears and

Partisanship is dying out even
in our national legislature but it
is dying hard This ia indicated
by the effort of some Republican
Senators in trying to get the rate
bill through tho Senate as a sriot
ly party measure without the aid
of the Democrats Another
cident is the case of tho Democrat
ic cauous trying to make Senator
Patterson vote against his convic
tions just becauso tho leaders of
his party said so In the first in
stance tho Democratio Senators
are showing the kind of patriotism
that places principles above party
when they aro willing to support
measures advocated by a Republi
can President while on the other
haudtheRopublicans aro resorting
to rank yellow dog politics wheD
they try to manipulate matters so
as to got all the glory for their
ow n party We also admire Sen
otor Patterson for his courageous
stand against the ultra partisan
ship of members of his own party

That the editor of a weekly that has at
tained of late a pro eminent station of
disrepute ia about to answer to tho
cbarge of perjury U a mero incident
among current oventsr A New lo
fudgo has declined to permittho use of
tho Biblo in tho admsnistralfon of an
oath in his court because ho accepts in
advance tho certainty that perjury will
be oommited by tho witness and regards
the form as desecration of the sacred
book That pojury the violation of n
sworn pledge to tell tho truth to toll all
of it and nothing else is committed in
every trial there is no reason to doubt
Bomo people cannot differentiate truth
and falsehood others from motives of
interest decline to recognize tho differ
ence To what ostent tho leniency of
tho courts is responsible for tho oxtont
of this evil It would bo impos3iblo to
statu definitely In many instances
there is a moral certainty that a witness
has lied and yet no legal proof Yet
verdict after vsrdict is reached in which
tho jury has to waive certaiu testimony
in tho belief notoxprossod but implied
that it is not true Thero is no judicial
habit of summoningperjurad witnesses
to bar They arepermited to go unro
buked despite tho fact that perjury is
ono of the moat dangerous of crimes
that by it innccent men may bo deprived
of property libeft or oven of life
